Synopsis

In 'The Anatomy of a Fall' movie, Sandra and Samuel live with their little 11-year-old son named Daniel in a place quite far from the town, in the mountains, where not many people have access. Their life was normal until a fateful event changed their reality quickly and forever. Samuel appears dead at the foot of the family home. What happened brings to their doors an investigation into a suspicious death.

After several attempts by justice to find the murderer, Sandra appears as the main suspect. The ambiguity of the case regarding the question of whether it was a suicide or a homicide does not stop the investigators from quicklyinvolving Sandra.

'The Anatomy of a Fall' takes a trip back in time and takes place a year after the events. There the trial for Samuel's death will take place, where his grown son Daniel will be present. The court event will be a true dissection of the couple.

The direction and script of this thriller is by Justine Triet. The cast of this drama is Sandra Hüller, Swann Arlaud, Milo Machado Graner, Antoine Reinartz, Samuel Theis.

The film was presented at several festivals, including the Cannes Film Festival, where it was awarded the Palme d'Or, and the San Sebastián International Film Festival.
